Is this site trusted?

Heard of them but I've never used them sadly.
 
Don't use them, I just bought a 100-400L off them, they are cheap because they dont charge VAT, but when the item arrives you may have to pay VAT and import duty depending where they sent it from (they are a Hong Kong company).
There communication is appauling, they said my lens was in stock and would arrive in 2 - 7 days, after 9 days they still couldn't provide a tracking document but wouldn't cancel the order as they said it had already been shipped, yet when the lens arrived 2 days later it was on a 24hr delivery, which means they lied about it already being shipped.
Just to make me laugh, 2 days after I had received the lens they sent me the tracking document and an email telling me that the lens has now been shipped. The left arm doesn't know what the right is doing.
I was lucky in that I had no import duty due on it.... but read the small print of their terms and conditions.

In hindsight I wish i'd paid the extra and got it from someone reputable like WE, the saving wasn't worth the hassle.

At the end of Nov/early Dec, I ordered a 550D from Pixmania, and a 55-250mm lens from SimplyElectronics. Both arrived quickly and without any real issues. There was a slight delay on the lens though I did opt for the cheapest/slowest delivery option but, they sorted that out. I just put it down to it being that time of year! I didn't have to chase them for info, as they kept me informed via email.

Having checked out what Nomis900 says about taxes, import duty and SE being a HK company, maybe I was lucky?

BTW, I found the body was cheapest from Pix, and SE had the lens at the lowest price so, I went for that instead of getting everything from one place. YMMV.
 
Ordered from them early December. For various reasons I had to cancel the order which they did without issue. Did take over a month before the money was returned to my credit card though.
 
I bought a tamron 90mm macro from them last year, delivery was a little slow despite stating it was in stock. My emails were answered promptly, and it arrived 9 days after ordering.

The site did make it clear I was buying an import, and the warranty would be provided by simply. Not had to make a claim tho.

My lens was definitely posted in UK, so no customs/vat charges.

Given the saving, I thought the deal was good, and I did a lot of research on simply... your mileage may vary, as they say...
 
do you like gambling, if you do, this might be a good and exciting one...
